Danny Ocean leads the crew of thieves in the 1960 Ocean's Eleven and Steven Soderbergh's remake franchise, but was he based on a real person?
Danny Ocean is the face of Ocean’s Eleven and the rest of Steven Soderbergh’s franchise and some people wonder if the character is based on a real-life figure or is a completely fictional character. The Ocean’s movies, of which there are three movies all directed by Soderbergh, center around Danny and his crew of thieves. Rusty , Linus , and Basher co-star along with a talented supporting cast.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Danny is a slick, charming, and clever con who puts all of Clooney's real-world qualities to great use. Though all the Ocean’s movies have many characters, Danny is the lead. Ocean’s Eleven is when the plot is most focused on Clooney’s character but even Ocean’s Twelve and Ocean’s Thirteen give Danny more screen time than most of the crew. Danny Ocean and his heists feel like something that could have been pulled from real life.
The Ocean’s Franchise Is More Fantasy Than Reality While it would be fun to imagine a real-life group like the fictional characters in Ocean’s pulling off grand heists, it simply would be just too difficult for any of Danny Ocean’s plans to succeed. In The Ringer, the various problems with Danny’s Ocean’s Eleven heist are laid out in plain detail, and the points can be extrapolated to all the Ocean’s movies.
The other parts of Danny’s plan start to fall apart after scrutiny. One issue the article brings up goes for all four of the films. The heists are based around getting into the “back of the house” in order to be near the vault. In real life, almost no one is able to get into the back of the house without a number of clearances. Sometimes, casino executives can’t even enter, so no trailing Terry Benedict into a count room.
